Yet another MCU inspired beginner teen Spidey story from me. Surprise, surprise...
Manhattan Park in New York City and it was the sight of a crash involving a delivery van from Empire State University. ESU had been in work of a new regenerative serum called OZ meant to enhance a person's strength, speed and agility as well as heal injuries. The delivery truck had been carrying test animals such as various insects and rodents. The delivery men began putting everything back as well as sealing all the lids before any of the test animals got out.
However they had no way of knowing that several of the test spiders had gotten out and scurried to the trees.
1 week later
Seated on the grass at a set up picnic blanket were a woman and a man with glasses and greying hair. With them eating out of the picnic basket was a brown haired boy who had just turned fifteen and wearing jeans with a yellow shirt. The couple were Mr Ben and Mary Parker and the boy was their nephew Peter Parker who lived with them in their apartment.
They were listening to an old radio talking about a celebration party by billionaire basketball sensation Morris Sackett. "Not surprised you put that old radio together champ, you're as gifted with machines and science as your dad was Peter. Just like you he was fixing old appliances and machines at your age too." Uncle Ben told him ruffling his hair making him embarrassed.
"Thanks Uncle Ben, that box of old machines I have been making use of. Hopefully all this will allow me to build something to get a good scholarship or internship or something..." Peter told them and they just gave him a smile.
"I am sure you are a sure in for any advanced college that are on the look. I just wish you can spend your time at school getting some friends. I hardly hear about your classmates in our talks." Aunt May told him and he looked at her nervously.
"Well you know I have a hard time communicating with them, mostly with the other people I have at my table.. The ones where the fellow nerds and geeks are... I see other people at my school at the Coffee Bean but I am just amicable with the classmates I see there as we don't share much interests..." Peter muttered and the couple sighed in response.
Uncle Ben then took a football and with a smile to Peter threw it with Peter running and tripping towards the trees it had landed near. Aunt May sighed when the radio were talking about billionaire scientist Tony Stark accepting the key to the city from the mayor in a ceremony today.
"I am not too sure about the likes of Stark and the Avengers, sure we need them when there are aliens or such but ever since billionaires started building suits of armor, WWII soldiers thawed from ice and so called gods coming to Earth... the world is a much more dangerous place and I am worried for our saftey as well as Peter, at the hospital I have had to treat people hurt in incidents with those super powered types..." Aunt May muttered as Uncle Ben took her hand.
"Peter will be just fine, he's a smart kid and I think he will know to stay out of trouble. Even if he's a kid idolising over superheroes." Uncle Ben told him and they smiled before hearing Peter yell.
The Parkers went to Peter who was looking at his arm where a spider had bitten him, they were pestering him making sure he was alright but feeling a bit weird with his insides. The Parkers then decided to pack up to start going home.
10 Days later
Peter was in his room working on an old sewing machine he had managed to put back together. He was sweating when he finished and looked at his work, it was a dark red hooded jumper he had used scissors to cut the sleeves of and he had just sewed a large black spider on the front and back of it. He then put it on his bed with a pair of red boots he got from a charity store, a pair of dark red fingerless gloves, a pair of dark blue gym trousers, a dark blue shirt and a dark red full face mask. He then took of his goggles and put it with the mask.
"Let's see if this will work..." Peter muttered going to his test tubes and used a vial of a formula he had been working on and poured it into one of two gauntlets like devices he had made from spare parts of the machines his Uncle Ben had given him. He then flicked a small lever and out came a web which attached to the other side of the wall.
"This should do..." Peter muttered cleaning it up and putting the 'web-shooters' for lack of a better name with the other bits of the costume he was putting together. He looked to his notebook and saw a list of where only one was underlined.
LIST OF NAMES:
ARACHNO-MAN
THE HUMAN SPIDER
SPIDER-MAN
CAPTAIN SPIDER
WEB-GUY
THE FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD SPIDER
SCARLET SPIDER
THE AMAZING SPIDER
"The Human Spider was my favourite but it doesn't sound very hero-y." Peter laughed to himself before sighing. He looked to a pinned cut out of the Daily Bugle newspaper talking about the tragic death of his Uncle Ben with a photo of him.
"It was only days ago Uncle Ben but still it feels like it had happened today. Ever since then neighbours and family friends came over to offer their condolences but all I can think of now is how I... I screwed up, I got incredible power so far but I was using it for fun and games. If I had gotten that guy when he robbed that store then you... I don't know if this is the proper or best way to honour your memory but all I know is that I don't want anyone else to get hurt because of my inaction again. I feel like this great power has given me great responsibility that I now have to use... as cheesy as it sounds." Peter told the picture before taking a deep breath.
He then looked down to the suit and equipment he had put together. It was time to get to work...
Yeah even though I am super proud of my Spidey story I decided I wanted to try a clean slate of a Spidey Origin reboot. Like the last one I will be using elements from different sources. Mostly the MCU Spider-Man, the Marvel Now Spidey series (I have praised that series enough in my author's note), Ultimate Spider-Man comics, the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon, the videos shown of the upcoming Marvel Spider-Man cartoon and the Sean McKeever Mary Jane comics (don't expect her to be the love interest though).
It may take a while for me to update.
